A Longitudinal Examination of the Social-Ecological Correlates of Exercise in Men and Women Following Cardiac Rehabilitation
(MDPI, 2019-02-16)
Cardiac patients who engage in ≥150 min of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA)/week have lower mortality, yet MVPA declines even following cardiac rehabilitation (CR), and is lower in women. A randomized ...
Interventions to Promote Patient Utilization of Cardiac Rehabilitation: Cochrane Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(MDPI, 2019-02-05)
Too few patients utilize cardiac rehabilitation (CR), despite its benefits. The Cochrane review assessing the effectiveness of interventions to increase CR utilization (enrolment, adherence, and completion) was updated. A ...
Maintenance of Gains, Morbidity, and Mortality at 1 Year Following Cardiac Rehabilitation in a Middle‐Income Country: A Wait‐List Control Crossover Trial
(American Heart Association, 2019-02-15)
Background-—Despite the epidemic of cardiovascular diseases in middle-income countries, few trials are testing the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). This trial assessed (1) maintenance of functional capacity, risk ...
The Effects of Cardiac Rehabilitation on Mortality and Morbidity in Women: a Meta-Analysis Attempt
(National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2019-01)
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces mortality and morbidity. However, there have been few women in CR trials, and no meta-analyses. Thirty-one potential trials were identified in recent systematic reviews. All authors were ...
Traditional versus hybrid outpatient cardiac rehabilitation: A comparison of patient outcomes
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018-07)
Purpose: Due to the sub-optimal uptake of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), alternative models have been proposed. This study compared the effectiveness of a traditional supervised program in a medical setting versus a hybrid ...
Cardiac Rehabilitation Costs
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
Background: Despite the clinical benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and its cost-effectiveness, it is not widely received. Arguably, capacity could be greatly increased if lower-cost models were implemented. The aims ...
Cardiac Rehabilitation Outcomes by Ethnocultural Background: Results from the Canadian Cardiac Rehab Registry
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017-09)
Background: Patients of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds are underrepresented among participants and, hence, little is known about their outcomes. The objectives of this study were to compare cardiac rehabilitation (CR) ...
Behavior determinants among cardiac rehabilitation patients receiving educational interventions: an application of the health action process approach
(Elsevier, 2015-05)
Objectives: To (1) test the effect of a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) theory-based education program in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) compared to traditional education on patient knowledge and HAPA constructs; and, ...
Validity of the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test to Assess Exercise Safety Initiating Cardiac Rehabilitation in Low-Resource Countries
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-05)
Purpose: To evaluate the validity of the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) to inform risk stratification in cardiac rehabilitation. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study at the major Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) center ...
Availability and Delivery of Cardiac Rehabilitation in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: How Does it Compare Globally?
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Background: This study aimed to (1) confirm cardiac rehabilitation (CR)availability, establish (2) CR density and unmet need, as well as (2) the nature of programs, and (3) compare these by (a) EMR country and (b) to other ...
